Multi-factor Index ratings

Six ratings that reveal the intended job.

Espresso and filter are rated separately so an excellent specialist is not punished for refusing the wrong job. Scores use published adjustment, dosing, size, price and evidence—not a claimed taste test.

Updated 2026-08-03 · editorial fit ratings, not owner stars or laboratory measurements
Espresso fit93/100

Brew-range claim and adjustment resolution; not a measured taste score.

Filter fit84/100

Published brew range, burr format and whether filter is the primary design job.

Dosing workflow84/100

Single-dose, timed, auto-stop and direct-to-portafilter convenience.

Counter fit93/100

Calculated from the published 12.2cm × 21.1cm footprint.

Value context85/100

Feature fit considered against the checked niche uk direct price, inc. vat.

Evidence confidence94/100

Confidence in exact model, UK price, plug, dimensions and manufacturer documentation.

How to read this: use the pattern, not one number. A machine or grinder can be strong for control and weak for speed—or excellent for filter and intentionally poor for espresso.

Index verdict

What the published evidence suggests.

Dose consistency and 72dB are manufacturer-published figures; cup character and retention still need independent verification.
